Buying again today
Bought my first pair last year, AMAZING! buying again now only due to the stench of my feet odor (working on that) wish they had more color options... you'd think they'd offer more after the reviews

I am planning to buy again.
I purchased my first pair of these for work and the were comfortable, so I purchased a pair for everyday wear.

Stiff!!
Loved the original foot bed, but very stiff. Not comfortable for walking.

A good, stable shoe for your base runs
I use this shoe for my base miles. I wear the Vanish Tempos for my speed work and long runs. They are fast, but slightly unstable. The firm, stable base of the Via Olympus helps my lower leg recover while maintaining enough cushion for my 225lb frame. My only complaint is that the tongue is too puffy. Even with a runner's lock, I cannot get these shoes to stay tight when I am tying them. Getting a good heel lock is very difficult and I think this leads to a lot of the wear issues people have on the inside of the shoe. It could also use a more aggressive taper at the toe to assist with toe-off.

To hard under foot.
If you're looking for a cushy shoe, this isn't it. My Olympus trail running shoes felt more comfy than these on the road. I sent them back. Thanks for a great return policy,

Fast and protective shoe.
I love Altra. When I started I trained only in Altras and my feet got so much stronger. The Via Olympus is well cushioned and a fast shoe. It's very responsive.

Perhaps the worst shoes I've ever run in. What a disgrace.
I guess I'll go back to barefoot running if this is where Altra is headed. Good riddance.

Nice
Work as a nurse...these are somewhat stiff but not heavy and don't make my feet hurt.

Yes
Lots good, lots of room at the front of foot with this brand. For running the shoe feels a little stiff.

Too hard and loud
I bought the Via Olympus 1/2 size up. After two 4-5 mile walks, I felt like I had shin splints. I decided I couldn't run in them. They were very loud on the sidewalk as well. Now,I just wear them around the house and don't exercise in them. After reading reviews on the Olympus 2, I decided to risk a try on them. They were much softer, and didn't seem quite as narrow in the mid-foot. I wasted money on the Olympus (1) but not on the Olympus 2
